I know that because in my neighborhood when I wake up to what sounds like gunfire it is.

Also, I remember back in Kosovo when the local kids thought it was funny to blow off a pack of firecrackers in the street when we were rolling through their village. Great test of your trigger discipline.

CruJones:katerbug72: I did wake to the sound of gunfire last night, it was my neighbour shooting at a skunk. We had a possum of our own to contend with.

I once killed a possum with a slingshot. Probably my manliest moment.

Go you! We trapped this one in a live trap and it proceeded to shiat all over the place before we let it go out in the back field.

I caught a possum eating out of the cat dish next to the back door at my parents house. It freaked out as I pulled up in my truck and ran AWAY... and face first into the garage door. Thunk.

LMAO! Did anyone but the possum see you? This possum was eating out of our cat's dish inside that house.

When I was a kid and a lot dumber, I saw a skunk eating out of our garbage behind the house. I sprayed some water on it and it ran away. It came back a little while later and continued rifling through the garbage. I got a bowl of warm tap water and threw it on it. It ran away again but left a loverly present all over the back of the house, including the back door. It was five in the morning and the smell woke everyone in the house. It was horrendous. Lesson learned, skunk, lesson learned.

A couple of years ago, we randomly fired some large bottle rockets in Ballard on the 4th. No complaints and it went on around the neighborhood until the wee hours. Two weeks later on my birthday, we fired the handfull of leftovers and had a neighbor across the street run over screaming "TERRORIST, YOU'RE A TERRORIST. YOU'RE GONNA BURN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD DOWN!!!" We were all very high and laughed and laughed at that man. Afterwords I was given my FARK handle.
